Περιγραφή:The breeding biology of the genus Discosura (Trochilidae) is poorly known. Here, we describe in detail the nest and eggs of the Green Thorntail (D. conversii). We analyze two nests; one was collected with two eggs at Limón province, Costa Rica, the other was observed and photographed at Departamento de Antioquia, Colombia. The eggs are white and oval‐shaped. Both nests are deep and compact open cups, however, the nest from Colombia is externally covered with green‐colored lichens while this feature is not present in the nest collected in Costa Rica. We recommend reporting more data from other nests and eggs of this species to determine possible causes for intraspecific variation.
